    Remarks: 
    Alonzo E. Foringer probably did the sheep and Vincent Aderente the coloring. The mural was restored and cleaned in 2014 resulting in more muted colors, and the discovery of additional sheep that no one knew were there. The conservation was undertaken by IFACS International Fine Art Conservation Studios.
